Question

Spotting and cramps don't always mean the worse.

Share

I just wanted to share my story to help the anxious and worried out there. Over the weekend I had some brown spotting with mild cramping/side pains. Light brown/tan sometimes light pink (just turned 12 wks). I immediately freaked out bc I had a miscarriage earlier this year. It's always easy to drift to negative and the worst but try your hardest to stay positive. I went to the doc yesterday and saw my bean basically running in place. I almost couldn't believe it. I had the doc tell me 100x everything was ok. It's super hard when you've been through a loss but I read in a previous post there is no sense in making yourself sick bc G-d does funky things sometimes and if it's not strong enough to survive in the belly then it would be too weak to survive outside. So my post here is to say all pregnancies are different, stay positive so the bean is cozy in the belly, try acupuncture it really really helps, and be proud bc either way your body is doing incredible things.
